(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Francis Bacon and the Politics of Science (Hardcover)

It took my father about 20 years or so to write this book. When I was four years old I saw him working on it. I did't know what he was doing at the time but I now know what he was woring on. Francis Bacon this book is for you!
